Re: Red Sea, Egypt

I'd consider them to be "urban feral cats", so yes, they're wild, though they're very tame.  You see them everywhere in Dahab and the surrounding areas.  They're always fed by humans, so they're fairly  domesticated.  Most of the restaurants are outdoors and you sit on the floor - the cats will sit next to you and wait for some scraps of food.  They love vegetables - evidently they're not hurting for food, but are always thirsty (tap water in Dahab is salty), so they've learned to get water by eating tomatoes and other raw veggies.  If you don't want the cats to bother you while you're eating, most restaurants will give you a squirt bottle of water so you can blast them.
